一项对长尾猴（Cercopithecus aethiops）和红尾猴（samango C. mitis erythrarchus）胃肠道的形态计量学比较研究表明，长尾猴在后肠（盲肠和结肠）中具有明显更大的体积。胃肠道主要吸收区（小肠）的表面积在samangos中也比在vervet中大。沙曼果在其饮食中含有比马尾猴更多的纤维状叶片材料，并且在参考消化和利用这种叶片成分所需的发酵过程中讨论了更大体积的重要性。
A comparative morphometric examination of the gastrointestinal tracts of vervet (Cercopithecus aethiops and samango C. mitis erythrarchus monkeys revealed that samangos possess significantly larger volumes in the hindgut (caecum and colon). The surface area of the main absorptive region of the gastrointestinal tract (the small intestine) was also larger in samangos than in vervets. Samangos include larger amounts of fibrous leaf material in their diets than vervets, and the importance of the larger volumes are discussed with reference to the fermentative process required to digest and utilise this foliar component.
